Hey masto, if you’ve been here for more than a few weeks and you really like your instance and have a minute, could you weigh in here and name it and say why you like it? We have new folks coming in and I never know where to point them for real-talk instance recs.

Would love to know whether your instance is open to new people, whether it strictly moderates abuse (racist, misogynist, anti-LGBT, disability-linked), how aggressive its defed policies are, whether it’s technically stable.

@kissane I have been on mastodon.social since 2017. I like it because it's stable, I like large instances because there's more content to find through hashtag search and the local/federated timelines and trending are more diverse (and when full search arrives there will be more to search). I have no direct visibility into how good moderation is in general but the few times I was targeted the malefactors were dealt with swiftly. No personal complaints.
